prietor of the largest cigar factory in the
State of Florida, situated at Ybor City,
near Tampa, said to Mr.. Gonzalez that II
the facilities for transportation between 81.
Augustine and Cuba ever became good he
would move his factory to that place, as he
knew it was healthier and better business
place than Tampa, and was destined TO be-
come place of great importance.
The following document becomes some
what interesting on account of the promi-
hence of its author. In 1868 Senator-then
''private" PaSco, was Clerk of jefferson CIR
cult Court, but under Gov. Harrison Reed
was replaced by Meacham, n colored Repub-
lican. Not only all the civil offices, but
even the Florida Railway and Navigation
road, then in the hands of the State, were
subordinate at that time to party purposes
by the God and morality party. The in
cumbent, as the following document shows,
left his protest on the records of the court:
BE it understood that on this the oath day
of August, A. d. 1865, came Robert
Meacham and claims the office of Clerk OF
the Circuit Court in and for the said county
of jefferson, by virtue of a certain lnstru-
nIent, purporting to be commission from
one Harrison Reed, claiming to be Gov
ernor of the State of Florida, and 1t
appearing that the said commission is issued
under the State seal, and that the said Har-
rlson Reed is actually exercising the rune
tions of Governor as aforesaid. and that he
has full power to enforce the said commits
sion, the undersigned, believing it to be his
duty as a good citizen to yield obedience TO
the existing government, has this day sur
rendered all the records, seals and other
public property that has been in his Gus
tody, as Clerk of the Circuit and Criminal
Courts, in and for this county Of jefferson,
to the said Robert Meacham. But he does
the same under protest, reserving and
claiming all his rights as clerk, aforesaid.
And he protests that the authority under
which the said Robert Meacham is acting
is unlawful and usurpation. And in tes-
tmony thereof he hereto sets his official
signature as said clerk on the day and year
aforenamed. S. PAsco, Clerk"

CUTlCURA REMEDIES.
INFA.INTILE
SKIN DISEASES.

Our oldest child, now six years OF age. when
an infant six months old, was attacked with
virlilent malignant skin disease All ordinary
remedies failing, we called our family physician,
who attempted to cure il; but IL spread with
almost incredible rapdity, until the lower por-
ton of the little fellows person, from the mid
solid RASH ugly, painful blotched and ma
licious. We had no rest at night, no peace
by day. Finally, we were advised to try the CUrI-
cuRA REMEDIES The effect was simply marvel
lous In three or four weeks a complete
cure was wrought, leaving the little fellow per
son as white and healthy as though he had never
been attacked. In my opinion, your valuable
remedies saved his life, and to-day he is a strong,
healthy child perfectly well, no repetition OF
the disease having ever occurred .x.

Building Ironcia Is.

England has ju~t put atioat the
Trafalgar, the largest ironclad ship
of war ever constructed. She meas
ures 1870 tons. and Is Of 1900 horse
powe-. She Is to carry L guns, 1 of
81 tOn- each. : Of 10 hundred light.
Her side ariHoT i - inches in
thickness. She will he fitted with
twin screws. each driven 10y an indie
pendent set Of triple expansion en- -
gine-. When entirely completed she
will have cost ahont Si.5Ou.Onl.
II has been the fashion Of late
years to rather bclit;le the importance
and value OF the British navy. Every
time au accident happens on board
Of one Of the big ships, even though
il may be due to bad seamauship or
carelesspess, there are plenty of peo-
pie to say, Il told you so" We are
sure to hear all the defects, but are
seldom informed rs to the good
points OF the huge vessels:
Admitting that some of these YES
sels have been purely experimental,
and that III some instances the ex-
perlments have not been successful.
the question arises, Whether it Is best
for the United States to do little or
nothing toward building a navy, in
hopes of proiting by The mistakes of
other nations, or whether we should
not experiment Independently for
ourselves? Ii we adopt the first
course we are always exposed to the
danger of being caught entirely un-
prepared for foreign war; for IN
case of war no nation of Europe Is
going to wait until we can construct
a navy to meet theirs on exactly equal
terms. The days of chivalry III war
fare are over, and Providence Is very
apt to side with the heaviest iron
clads as we'll as with the heaviest bat
talions.
On the other hand, if we adopt the
plan of building for ourselves at once
we snail be making some progress;
and if we have sense enough to profit
by our own mistakes, it will not take
long before we have an efficient navy.
Take the Atalanta, for example. Her
only defect. so far rs stated, is in the
defective arrangement of her battery
and the lack of weight in her guu
carriages. Does anyone suppose that
those mistakes will be repeated in any
of the vessels now building, or In
those which are projected? There is
no such efficient teaching as making
blunders, if therei is Judgment enough
to be taught by the mistakes, and 1t
is better for the United Strtcs to
learn from It's own mistakes than
from those of other nations. Our
5000 ton ships do not seem very large
when compared with the Trafalgar;
but at the same time there is some
question whether the smaller ships
are not the better. This is one of the
things We must hud out for ourselves
and the only way to DO ii Is by the
actual construction of an ironclad
navy.

ara OF the tract of land near Discov
cry Bay, on which coal has been dis
covered, has arrived home from a trir
up the Sound whittier he went to
secure the cooperation of capitalists
in developing the vein. Mr.. Smith
informs an ARGUS reporter that he
secured q pledge for all tho capital
required provided the vein develops
as rich as at present indicated. An
experienced coal miner, an eminent
expert and capitalist, will be here in
few days to make thorough inYesti-
gstion-after which the mine will
probably be rapidly developed. The
coal is near to good wharf privilege
on the peninsula side of Discovery
Bay. It can be mined and shipped
at . minimum cost.

Whatcom ReUeiIle: In 1879 E.
McTaggart was appointed Govern
ment Scaler for the Puget Sound
numbering district, and has been re-
tanned in that position ever since.
During all this time, or until within
the past three weeks, the milling
companies on the Sound have per-
sistently refused to be governed by
the official scale. The loggers, who,
until recently, have been practically
mortgaged to the mill companies,
have been compelled to accept the
scale as rendered by the mill men,
and the government scale simply
served to show the actual loss to the
loggers-a loss that owing to circum-
stances they were powerless to avoid.
The mill companies have never ques.
toned the correctness of Mr.. McTas-
gart's scaling, but have simply insist.
cd upon their own scale, (which aver.
aged 8 per cent. below that of the
government scale,) because the log
gers submitted TO it. The increased
demand for logs during the past
season has enabled the loggers to
assume more independent position
and assert their rights, The Skagit
loggers, who own their own outfits,
hence were under less obligations to
the mill companies, held their logs
for sale subject to the government
scale. The Puget Mill company was
the first to break the long established
custom, and about three weeks ago.
accepted the logs according to gov
ernmont scale by McTaggert. This
caused q general break on the part of
the loggers TO the Puget Mill COM
pany's buyers, and a corresponding
Acarcity of logs offered to the other
companies. This action on the part
OF the Puget Mill company, which in
eludes Utsalady, Port Gamble and
Port Ludlow, WAS Immediately fol-
lowed by the Blakely, Tacoma, and
Discovery companies, ard finally all
the mills on the Sound have signifed
their Willingness to accept the gov
ernment scale, and that harmony
which must result beneticially both to
losgers and uill men, now prevails
throughout the Puget Sound District.
'Ihls VlnGication of Mr.. McTaggart's
official scale must be indeed most
gratifying both to himself an friends
and, although slow and tardy, is the
reward that always follows an honest
and faithful discharge of an official
trust
